Dropping My You Tube Account

To let y'all know, I'm cutting back my internet "presence".

I have been convinced that the internet feeds pride...even when done in the name of Biblical Christianity. Even if I were not prone to arrogance, I still think using You Tube for arguing for the faith is largely futile. Those who believe it is a venue for spiritual battle forget that users tend to put up their vids because they are already fully convinced/deluded.

I'm not discounting the role of the Holy Spirit. Don't get me wrong. I am discounting the role of human reason in bringing men to faith. Long ago I decided my aim wouldn't be so much evangelism as much as helping believers see the futility of unbelief and build them up.

I have decided writing is a better medium. Delving in God's Word is most powerful. When you get involved with the back and forth of response videos, you find yourself going after the guys with the most views...in the end, it becomes shameless self-promotion with a veneer of piety.

I will post here as I am able, and will not be actively promoting this site. I hope readers are encouraged by my efforts.

God bless!

Kudos to you.

I have also found it true that 'debates' tend to feed the fan of pride and arrogance.
